Extensive Transport Research and Data sources now available

Three new sources of comprehensive transport data for Victoria are now available via the Thinking Transport website.

VisualPlace - The VisualPlace Map will provide you with an interactive GIS-enabled application to map and visualise government information, including transport services and demographic information, making this a high powered resource for local government transport planners.

The Victorian Integrated Survey of Travel and Activity (VISTA 07) - The results of VISTA 07 provides a detailed picture of how people in Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Latrobe travel on an average day. While not current data, this study is useful for benchmarking and comparison.

The Victorian Transport Statistics Portal (VTSP) - The VTSP provides access to data that will be of interest to anyone who wants to better understand transport trends in Victoria. Data can be filtered to profile transport issues at a Local Government Area (LGA) level, making it a highly powerful tool for local governments.

These resources provide vital data for transport planning and project development and may serve as highly useful benchmarking data.
